History

European immigrants founded Charlotte in 1768 and named it for the Queen of Great Britain at the time, George III’s wife, Charlotte. Shortly after its incorporation, a young boy discovered a 17-pound rock in the area. As the story goes, his family used it as a doorstop until a jeweler saw it and told them that it was pure gold. That prompted the first official gold rush in American history. Unfortunately, the rush was short-lived and many people moved west to California to seek treasures there. In the meantime, Charlotte turned to farming and textiles and became a major railroad hub just after the Civil War.

Neighborhoods like Beverly Woods began popping up during the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s when Charlotte residents who worked Uptown began seeking homes in some of the city’s more rural areas. Today, the city is one of the fastest-growing in the United States, and it is the second-largest banking center in the country.

Many of Charlotte’s top employers are just a quick drive from Beverly Woods. They include Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools, American Airlines, Wells Fargo, Bank of America, Lowe’s, Walmart, and Carolinas HealthCare System.

Speaking of the Carolinas HealthCare System, Carolinas Medical Center is just under 6 miles from Beverly Woods. It has over 874 beds and is one of the largest hospitals in North Carolina.

The Charlotte area is home to many celebrities who were either born here or have moved here in recent years. Some of them include evangelist Billy Graham, actress Angie Harmon, basketball star Michael Jordan, and multiple NASCAR stars like Dale Earnhardt, Jr. and Richard Petty.
